Russian state agencies have long used social media to push pro-Kremlin messages, but over the past three years, this practice has escalated to a new level. Nearly 200,000 accounts — not just for government offices but also for schools, community centers, hospitals, and museums — now frequently post “patriotic” and pro-war content. Journalists from the independent outlet Novaya Vkladka spoke with employees at some of these institutions to find out where these posts originate — and whether ordinary staff can do anything to stop them. Meduza shares an abridged translation of their report.
